I will be stuck in low or no internet areas and having a way to save a whole website (such as a small community wiki or something) to browse while bored would be very nice. It’d be nice if its features like search could be kept working. Any suggestions for a Foss app that can do this?
This will help but the wiki I’m thinking of using is for a video game and for a ttrpg 🤔
You can download the website’s static files then (html, css, images, etc.) but features such as search won’t function if it works by querying some database.
Iirc most browsers have a way to make website’s available offline. I know chromium has it, but firefox does not. You’d probably need an extension for that. Or you can download the static files, store them in a directory manually and then open the index.html with firefox. That should work.
@marcie @asudox On Firefox, can you try CTRL+S and choosing complete web page save? It usually is enough. Though if it calls an API for searching, that’s not gonna work.
